[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1072319, member: 17767"] I can reduce your jealousness by 3. I see the problem. When I had my pre 64 action barreled, I sent it to Ed Shilen in Ennis, Texas. I could not decide on barrel length. 22 or 24. So I had Ed put a 23 inch barrel on the action. It was a SS match grade barrel, button rifled, in medium/light contour. They nickeled the action and jeweled the bolt. When Shilen puts a barrel on they also face-up the front of the bolt. Accuracy is a function of the co-axial alignment of the cartridge with the barrel. If a cartridge is not square with the bore, when the prijectile engages the riflings it is off center and does not establish harmony. Benchrest experts say it is like a tuning fork. If the barrel is not happy with the way the bullet engages it, accuracy goes out the window. I have ONE pre 64 M70 .270, but it is a masterpiece! I have a Win 70 with the claw extractor made in later years to specifications that are actually an enhancement of the pre 64, it is a .375 H & H. [/QUOTE]
